Saturday Night Shenanigans

Here are a few of our Saturday shindigs from the end of lockdown and beyond. Inside Out This party brought out some of our lockdown emotions. I was Disgust. Mum was Sadness. And Eric was Anger. That night's activity was watching the movie Inside Out . Villains   The following week our evil sides emerged. Captain Hook, Miss Trunchbull and President Snow were all in attendance.
